• Step 1 : Create a Java Project
  • Create and run a Java class
• Step 2 : Keyboard Shortcuts
  • Ctrl + Space
    • BigDecimal - Auto Suggestion
    • Templates - main, fore, sysout, syserr
  • Ctrl + 1
    • File Name and Class Name does not match - Display Errors
    • Rename a Class - What suggestions are offered?
    • new Integer() - What suggestions are offered?
  • Ctrl + Shift + R (and T)
  • F3 (Goto declaration)
  • F4 (Type Hierarchy)
  • Ctrl + Shift + L
• Step 3 : Views and Perspectives
• Step 4 : Save Actions
• Step 5 : Code Generation
  • Alt + Shift + S
    • Getters and Setters
    • toString()
    • equals()
    • hashcode()

public class HelloWorld {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
		map.put("key", "value");
	}
